2/3 x 2/5
Which scenarios match the expression above
A. Felicia and her friend ordered a 2/3 pound hamburger to share she ate 2/5 of it how much of a pound hamburger did she eat?
B. Cynthia third of a mile and she walked another fifth of a mile how many miles did she travel
C.Henriettas school is 2/3 of a mile from her house. She has walked 2 feet of a mile how much of the way has she walked?
D. Gazelle has two bag of cat food she pour two of it into the cat feeder how much of a full bag did she pour into the cat feeder?
E. Wanda is painting 2/3 of the house if she already has 2/5 of it painted how much of her house does she have left to paint
A. Felicia and her friend ordered a 2/3 pound hamburger to share she ate 2/5 of it how much of a pound hamburger did she eat?
The scenario that matches the expression "2/3 x 2/5" is:
B. Cynthia walked a third of a mile and then walked another fifth of a mile. The expression "2/3 x 2/5" represents this scenario where Cynthia traveled a fraction of a mile.
To simplify the given expression, we need to multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominators (bottom numbers) separately.
For the expression 2/3 x 2/5:
Numerator: 2 x 2 = 4
Denominator: 3 x 5 = 15
Therefore, the simplified expression is 4/15.
Now, let's analyze each scenario to determine which one matches the simplified expression.
A. Felicia and her friend ordered a 2/3 pound hamburger to share. She ate 2/5 of it. This scenario involves fractions, but the problem does not match the given expression.
B. Cynthia walked a third of a mile and she walked another fifth of a mile. This scenario doesn't involve any fractions, so it doesn't match the given expression.
C. Henrietta's school is 2/3 of a mile from her house, and she has walked 2 feet of a mile. This scenario involves fractions, but the problem does not match the given expression.
D. Gazelle has two bags of cat food and pours two of them into the cat feeder. This scenario does not involve fractions, so it doesn't match the given expression.
E. Wanda is painting 2/3 of the house, and she already has 2/5 of it painted. This scenario involves fractions and matches the given expression, as it relates to multiplying fractions to find the remaining portion to be painted.
Therefore, the correct scenario that matches the given expression is E. Wanda is painting 2/3 of the house, and she already has 2/5 of it painted.
